Why was the experience requirement modified?
CIPM is a specialized designation for investment performance professionals, and candidates complete a rigorous program of study designed to equip them for success in a variety of performance-related positions. However, for many existing and prospective candidates (such as investment consultants, compliance officers, investment operations staff, technologists, and marketing or client relationship managers), performance evaluation and presentation may be just one aspect of their work. By offering the alternative of four years’ professional experience in the investment industry, the revised experience policy recognizes performance evaluation and presentation as an expert domain without excluding qualified candidates who are not full-time performance specialists.
